I don't know what it does either. looks like it get hooked up to the battery as the ground but i don't know how that adds power at all

If anyone did buy one, run it on the dyno to see if it worked I'd send them to a shrink.

Its a chassis ground kit.
You take each wire going out of it, hook it to the frame, motor, hood, chassis etc etc etc and it all runs back to one box that is now connected to the battery. Its suppose to make sure every electrical system thats using a common ground is connected.

Cars of yore and some Asian cars, post computer operated,use to be grounded just at 2 points if not just one. They found some systems weren't getting the proper voltage and not working as they should. But that was then, not now. All cars today due to computer electronics come with multiple grounding points just like this kit offers.

It just goes to show you that companies, specially smaller operations, that sell and or produce after market parts aren't out to help you make more power, there out to make your wallet thinner. K&N is a prime example of money over power.

Grounding wires... as has been said it used to make a nice difference on older cars... but with the network of cables and computers in ours... I don't think you'd gain much from it.

Old man nailed it. This isn't even a full grounding kit. they used to offer full wire bundles as well to replace the wiring in your systems. they were better flowing wires and were designed to improve your system by reducing resistance of signals.

I dont think anything of that sort would help us out. but if someone wants to get it, they are more than welcome to and tell us how it worked out.
